Look just because the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox sounds like something a pagan would celebrate doesn't mean it is. I mean, say "Happy Easter" dammit! If you're selling baskets and eggs, you better say "Happy Easter" to me after I check out, "have a nice day doesn't cut", nor does, "be well". I'm looking at you Walgreens! I think we should start boycotting businesses that don't say "Happy Easter" and are attempting to infringe on all of our religious liberty.

I never liked Easter. I always got rousted up on Easter morning to go to a hillbilly Lutheran church that smelled like old people. Because it was full of awful old people. And they just biatched about immigrants and black people the whole time. And the pews are uncomfortable and the songs are boring and it was either blazing hot or freezing cold.

The worst part though is peeps. Fark those nasty little blobs of neon goo. Farking disgusting.

nocturnal001:I did have the pleasure of two ladies ringing my doorbell and inviting me to a celebration of the death of Jesus Christ.

I declined. Still waiting to be approached by one of these militant atheists that just has to shove his opinion down everyone's throats though. I've been assured they are a plague on the land.

I was celebrating the festival Ēostre once and two women banged on my door. I quickly threw my towel over my ... symbol of celebration and answered the door. They considered me offensive for being at my door with a towel and a hardon, I politely (sort of) told them Im busy worshipping my wife, i dont want to hear about jewish zomWIEs at that moment. They left, I went back to celebrating. (I wonder if they found any of the chocolate fertility symbols hidden near my driveway, who cares, I was busy)

It is Easter all ready? Do you guys celebrate that every year? Can't you like move that shiat to a leap year? I only ask, because every year I get up on Sunday, get dressed, head out to do my shopping to find 90% of the stores farking closed, because of some pissant religious observance.

/ I always enjoy Christmas Eve services, though

You're supposed to buy the peeps 3-4 weeks ahead of time, open the packages to let them get stale and then eat the crunchy sugary goodness.

"Easter, that's a weird tradition.'Easter, the day Jesus rose from the dead. What should we do?''How 'bout eggs?''Well, what does that have to do with Jesus?''All right, we'll hide 'em.''I don't follow your logic.''Don't worry. There's a bunny.' "

It is a really big farking inconvenience.

Where do you live, Jericho? Stores don't close anymore.

Bwhahahahahah! You obviously don't live in the bible belt. They do close in St. Louis, MO. Walmart, Schnucks, K-Mart, Shop N Save, Aldi, Dollar Store, Big Lots etc... all closed.

that's a bullshiat.. you have to marinate the rabbit for at least 32 hours in red wine or burgundy first..

chicken works just as well by the way

in any case.. it always annoyed me that folks freaked out more about the secularization of christmas over Easter when Easter is the most important holiday to the faith. the whole death on the cross and the resurrection, and return to heaven is the very foundation of christianity.

If these farkers had any sense about them they would've been doing this whole war on Easter thing decades ago.

I'm sure they would have if anybody could figure out what day Easter is without consulting a calendar. Christmas is easy, but Easter is like a stealth holiday: before you know it it's snuck up on you and ... hey, whaddyaknow, it's Easter, already, ferChristsakes ...
